I hate those RJ's coming and the 9's leaving as much as the next guy, but they are allowed by us, and DAL is only exercising their rights. My response is, lets learn from it.
I hope that we learn from it as well. And I'm not sure what irks me more...us funding the most powerful and best funded startup ultra LCC in human history of the future (SKYW) or us funding a Lorenzo style "Air Group" (RAH/F9) right now. Both are strong evidence, IMO, that our current leadership team either doesn't care because they know they won't be here that long, or worse, they don't understand where the money is going in the first place. I doubt its the second one.
